ABSTRACT
From the fruits of Sambucus canadensis four anthocyanin glycosides have been isolated by successive application of an ion-exchange resin, droplet-counter chromatography and gel filtration. The structure of the novel, major (69.8%) pigment, cyanidin 3-O-[6-O-(E-p-coumaroyl-2-O-(beta-D-xylopyranosyl)-beta-D- glucopyranoside]-5-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, was determined by means of chemical degradation, chromatography and spectroscopy, especially homo- and heteronuclear two-dimensional NMR techniques. The other anthocyanins were identified as cyanidin 3-sambubioside-5-glucoside (22.7%), cyanidin 3-sambubioside (2.3%) and cyanidin 3-glucoside (2.1%).
